So don't.
Check traffic before you depart, pick a route, and leave some extra time in case you hit unexpected traffic.
I know I've been going on about it lately, but for almost every "How can we possibly do this without an app tracking every bit of data it possibly can?" sort of task, people were doing that, or something functionally equivalent, before cell phones, or on cell phones that aren't actively user-hostile.
- sneak 5y agoChecking traffic before you depart also leaks your location, as well as your intended path of travel.
- KingMachiavelli 5y agoIt can not be used to prove that you actually did travel though. You can also put in only approximate address locations. Google isn't going to be running some inference algorithm to identify your most probable location or residence, they are just going to give LE the raw data. Unless you are a extremely wanted criminal, LE probably doesn't have the resources to do extensive analysis of google maps searches and a jury is not going to interpret those results the same way they would of actual location history.

- ghaff 5y agoSmartphones are useful but 15 years ago really weren't the Dark Ages because no one had a modern smartphone in their pocket. Even 25 years ago--before most people had cell phones at all--really weren't wither. Yes, I carry and use a smartphone. But it's a convenience. I don't need to reach people or have them reach me wherever I am. I don't need GPS at all times. I don't always need instant access to information.

- uoaei 5y agoHow do you use it in any way except by punching in lat/long? I cannot search for local addresses using it, which is a non-starter.
